American Apparel 3-D Mesh Jumper

Unique vs. Cheap Chic

We're always weighing a killer, unique purchase against other, maybe more budget-friendly buys, so we totally relate to this OnSugar blogger's dilemma. Weigh in on Beauty and the Budget's fashion query and help her decide which is the better purchase?

I have been obsessed with this 3-D Mesh Jumper since the beginning of this year when I first spotted it on Lookbook.nu. It's a really great piece from American Apparel, and even though it's a bit pricey, I still think it's worth the money. However, I still can't bring myself to spend $90 on a sweater. I was hoping it would be on sale by now, but I am beginning to think it's too beautiful to be a mark down. Nonetheless, I still find myself debating on whether or not to buy it . . .

And when you look at all of the other great pieces you can get for the same price, it's makes the decision even more difficult.

Which choice do you prefer?

Skip the jumper, it's really not flattering. The miniskirt alone is worth ten of those jumpers. Plus American Apparel is infamous for its owner's sexual harassment of women workers. Why would you want to support that jerk?
